Tracks of my 2007 Dec. 31, 2007

Songs go well beyond what you can see before you – they have the ability to make you listen, feel, move, paint imagery, have you spill over with enthusiasm or curiosity. Perhaps later when that curiosity is satiated, they won’t quite do it for you, again. But in 2007 (a year for women singers) on hearing UP FOR DANCING for the very first time, live, but feet from the stage, I was so overwhelmed, I wanted to lead the singer by the hand and take her outside like there’s no tomorrow.

Of course, there is a tomorrow. There is 2008 and there was 2007.
